- Remove woody ends.
- Cut into 1" sections, setting aside tips.
- Add non-tip sections to potato pot and cook until asparagus has gone beyond bright green to olive green (but not brown).
- Add dill.
- Asparagus should be soft enough to mash along with potatoes, in the cooking water.
- Don't throw out any of the cooking water- they should lightly mash together when done. Lightly brown flour in a small saucepan and allow to cool somewhat before adding rice milk.
- Add liquid gradually to make a smooth pseudo-roux and add the roux to the soup.
- Add the asparagus tips and continue cooking the soup just until the tips are tender and bright green.
- Salt to taste.
- *For a slight variation cut up an onion and a few cloves of garlic and sauteed them, then add some vegetable broth and water and cook with the potatoes, then continue with the directions.

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
